\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve made mistakes in life, but my biggest regret is buying the Lego Friends Advent Calendar.<\/p>\n

The $30 I spent could have been used to buy two bags of socks, and socks are just puppets waiting to happen. I could have spent $30 on tickets to see The Hobbit or that Seth Rogen\/Barbra Streisand movie. I could have used the money to buy a really fancy hotdog. Or I could have spent it on an autographed copy of the phone book, or a bunch of limes.<\/p>\n

Anything would have been better.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s open the door for Day 17 and then look forward to next December when a much better calendar will be opened.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mailbox.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ugh. What a tower of crap. It\u2019s just so…stupid and colorful…and nice and…and…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hinge works.<\/p>\n

And it comes with real Lego Mail!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fine. This is awesome. The Lego Mailbox is great. It doesn\u2019t make up for the rest of the sadness inside the calendar, but at least it\u2019s a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Annie-Ann tried to convince Baby Robot Snowgirl that the mailbox was a fun \u201cSnowgirl Fort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she tried to mail Baby Robot Snowgirl to France.<\/p>\n

Day 17 Rating:<\/strong> 8.5 out of 10 (Points added because despite trying very hard to hate it, I kind of love it.)<\/p>\n
